The great financial city of Mumbai brings life sharply into the 21st c. It’s alive, vivacious and, at times totally over the top! Bollywood rules here with screen mega stars the leaders of society. Inland contains the incomparable Buddhist and Hindu cave paintings and sculptures in the Ajanta and Ellora Caves. Goa, so beloved by the ‘flower children’, still retains its mystic appeal, although today package tourists outnumber the real hippies. |
